The Challengers are asked by Dr. Bradford to deliver a vial to Washington, but they are forced to land in the desert. The guys split up to look for help, observed by Mr. Tic-Tac-Toe and his helper Herbert. Ace gets caught in an arroyo and is staked by Herbert to a giant Tic-Tac-Toe display. Red falls through a trap door and Rocky ends up behind bars before being added to the grid.
